The Lord of the Nords joined Oct 18, 2011

In Egypt's sandy silence, all alone,
Stands a gigantic Leg, which far off throws
The only shadow that the Desert knows:—
"I am great OZYMANDIAS," saith the stone,
"The King of Kings; this mighty City shows
"The wonders of my hand."— The City's gone,—
Nought but the Leg remaining to disclose
The site of this forgotten Babylon.
We wonder,—and some Hunter may express
Wonder like ours, when thro' the wilderness
Where London stood, holding the Wolf in chace,
He meets some fragment huge, and stops to guess
What powerful but unrecorded race
Once dwelt in that annihilated place

Actually this picture is becoming a tad irrelevant as time goes on. Pro-Russian activists are now resorting to more violent tactics (or though this would appear mainly defensive) in the face of pro-EU supporters zealous anti-Russian statement. I wouldn't call any violence justified in Ukraine's case but I get the feeling that the pro-Russian or Russian affiliated Ukrainians are fearing that they may be the subject of abject abuse from their own government in coming months.
